An 8th Century Turkic Narrative : Pragmatics, Reported Speech and Managing Information
- 2006
-
Ingår i: Turkic languages. - 1431-4983. ; 10:2, s. 155-186
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sociolinguistic methods should be more extensively applied to the analysis of historical texts, particularly narratives & representations of oral language. Understanding processes of authorial disclosure & management of information calls for process-oriented analyses of the ways that communication events & knowledge transitions are marked within narratives. Narratives appeal in part because authors arrange & coordinate information transitions within both narrated events & narrative events. The 8th century Turkic narrative commemoration of Bilga Tonuquq offers excellent material for demonstrating how these features interact in a complex historical narrative about knowledge, communication, planning & action. Processual analysis attending to individual rather than community conventions reveals complex, idiosyncratic understandings of the social uses of logic, poetics, narrative, & metaphor. The resulting clarity about how this narrator tells history improves our understanding of the narrator's intentions, improves translation, & clarifies the text's relationship to its historical context.

Being Specific About Generalization : Kyrgyz Habitual Narratives in Ethnographic Interviews
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Language Change in Central Asia. - Berlin : DE GRUYTER MOUTON. - 9781614514534 ; , s. 33-58
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter develops a linguistic anthropological analysis of the ways habitual aspect is used in Kyrgyz narratives within interviews. Based in research on habitual aspect in linguistics, linguistic anthropology and narratology, the analysis shows how respondents alternate among expressions describing singular and repeated events. Despite the broad relevance of this topic to ethnographic interviewing, the pragmatics of habitual aspect have not been systematically examined. This introductory overview of the wide spectrum of Kyrgyz uses of habitual aspect in describing cultural practices, personal experiences and historical accounts, demonstrates the value of this approach to understanding the relationship of social activities and habitual narrative.
